Abstract

Investigates the relationship between settlement patterns and sustainable transport. This work is a crucial element in determining the strategic transportation issues that impinge on economic growth and sustainable development in the context of the National Spatial Strategy. It will also be essential to the task of identifying the capacity for expansion of existing urban areas and the identification of additional gateway centres. Sustainable development may be defined briefly as concerned with maintaining and enhancing the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting eco-systems and the resource base. Sustainable transport may be defined as transport systems and policies that contribute to this aim.
